    Positive reinforcement works as well! Gotta give blue states something good to entice fence sitters. For instance, you could annex Minnesota.

    Sincerely

    A Minnesotan

      I like the sound of that. Join the upstairs party, let’s have a chill night while they argue downstairs.

      Wait, please. With all due respect, and if you wouldn’t mind:

      If alphabetical order is at all a consideration, I think Massachusetts should go first.

        Ok sounds good. First order of business:

        🎵 The spirit of Massachusetts is the spirit now of Canada

        the rest of it

        The spirit of the last letter being zed…

        The spirit of Massachusetts is the spirit now of Canada,

        The spirit of the red, white and red! 🎶

        Y’all have no respect for the Quebecois. First order of business should be their favorite vacation state, Vermont.

      Open invitations to provincehood should be extended to all states. Michigan specifically should be made aware that “it would be a shame if their nice auto plants exploded.”

      Even the blue states have too many guns and Jesus for my liking.

        A worthy trade. Massachusetts has fewer guns than most and you’re welcome to all of them if you annex us. Boston has had hundreds of years of friendship with Halifax, especially, and we’re all for joining up
